Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's one tech support guy for our office who doesn't actually work for the company who's incredibly chatty and boring. He's incredibly ready with the overshare about drunken binges and shit like that. I wonder if he looks people up in the org chart before he starts going on.

We have a developer with a vendor who is also numbingly boring and talkative. He'll tell me in detail about the latest bug he found, what happens in this version of of the language if you declare an integer and then pass a float, and I have no idea what I ever said that made him think I care. However, sometimes he slips up and tells me information he probably shouldn't that we really do need to know, and I promptly rat him out to our business owner, because what the fuck were they thinking?

I'm sure he gets in trouble regularly, but it's not stopping him from going on and on and on. I'm terrified to meet him in person next week.

I explicitly do not like it when checkout people talk to me about what I'm buying. Talk about something else. I'd like to maintain a veneer of pretense that they're not reading my life story by my combination of tampons and vodka and ice cream.

OK, these are my choices, someone please pick one for me to start with, because I feel like doing exactly none of them.

Clean the: kitchen, dining room table, or living room.
Start laundry
Pack for tomorrow

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I explicitly do not like it when checkout people talk to me about what I'm buying.

I *hate* that. Judge me all you want, just don't talk to me about it. Once when I bought a box of hair dye, the checkout girl said, "Oh, going darker, huh?" My hair at the time was brown, and the dye was red. I don't even know what that was about.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Start the laundry, Jen.

OK! Here I go. Thank you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The dining room table is the least work, yet finishing it will leave you feeling the most accomplished.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I need a full body heating pad. Or enough motivation to ignore my achy body and run the errands I need to do.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

If I forgot to put my yogurt in the work fridge this morning, how bad an idea would it be to eat it now that it's been sitting out for eight hours?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

A little soupy, but otherwise fine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Bleargh. I think I just went through a hazing ritual -- my boss got all excited about a weird case he's being asked to talk about and made me watch the surgery. It was definitely way more strange and fascinating than gross, but the gross was definitely there in abundance as well. And he kept asking me if I needed a chair or if I was going to faint, and I could totally see him giving me little gold stars every time I said nope, I was okay.

Still, bleargh. Right now I'm so tremendously glad to be a vegetarian, I can't even say (it was still bleargh, but at least I don't have to worry about flashbacks every time I sit down to eat for the next few weeks -- there's absolutely no food I eat that, even in its rawest raw stage, remotely resembles anything I spent the last...uhhh...37 minutes watching).
